Recent Medical Clinics

Last week was a very busy week for us. We held medical clinics in LeTant and Letant Two. We were astonished at the numbers of families that were there. We were expecting somewhere around 68 families. I don't know the exact numbers, but we had many, many more than 68 families.

The trip to Le Tant Two proved to be rather daunting. There had been heavy rains earlier in the week so driving across the rivers was a bit treacherous. At one point the vehicle in which Randy and Bobby were driving with the supplies was up on two wheels. It's a good thing that God is always watching over us!
As you can see, the vehicle which was loaded down with supplies had a tire which didn't fair too well! That's one thing about Haiti...LOTS of flat tires!

We had to canopy like coverings under which we had our clinic. To say that it was hot outside would be an understatement! It was sweltering. But when you've got very sick and starving children, the heat just doesn't seem to matter anymore. Below you will see a few pictures that will probably be disturbing to you. This is a three month old baby that had worms, impetigo, scabies and thrush in her mouth.

No human being should have to go through something like this. This is why we're in Haiti. We're here to feed starving children and to be able to bring medical care to those that would otherwise never receive any care at all.

We need your support to continue to feed these children and their families and to provide basic medical care to them. Your gift of $10, $20 or $30 can make the world of difference in the lives of these children. Your support will make it possible for us work towards making a change in this impoverished country.Randy with Mr. Serivil. He is the witch doctor in Le Tant Two


Each family that left the clinic, left with garden seeds to plant, gospel tracks printed in Creole and above all else, they left with blessings being prayed over them.

To all of our family and friends back home, please continue to keep us in your daily prayers. We pray that the Lord will continue to bless you and your families as well. It is with your support that we're able to be here providing food and medical care to those that you see in the above photos.


God Bless,

Randy and Roberta Arnold

God is doing such awesome work through ya'll! It is such a blessing to me to see what you are doing there in Haiti for these people. I can not imagine what they must go through. Keep doing God's will and He will reward you one day!

With Love In Christ,

I came across your blog on Blogexplosion. I am very impressed by the work you and your wife are doing for others. Keep up the great work. If only there are more people like yourselves in the world!

We took a team recently to an area of Haiti about an hour outside Port au Prince, a village by the name of Maissade. Wow - so many needs. Once you have been there, it is so hard to not be commited to the people of Haiti, and to serve our Lord in helping his people.

If you are ever looking for cheaper airfare, I found an organization committed to keeping the price of airline tickets down, to allow you to invest more into kindom work. They will provide the assistance you need, or refer you to someone who can help

God Bless - and I look forward to seeing you soon!
